DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and more particularly to FIGS. 1A-1D thereof, there is shown systems and methods for scrubbing malicious code between communications devices, and the like.

In FIGS. 1A-1D, an intrinsic depiction of the inner workings of a SUBBC (Scrub/Unify and Break Bad code) system are described, including interception of harmful data, malicious code, and the like, and the way such data is then communicated to other nodes, and ultimately the way they communicate with servers, and the like. The workings of the encryption schemes that are used to protect the customers data before sending it anywhere on either RF or Network are also described.

The Interceptor and crypto engine: (which will be named Custos or 104 hereafter), wherein Custos (104) analyzes all the packets that are sent through the node. It does this in what is called a “zerocopy” setup; which means it picks it up directly from the kernel data stream without delay of copying it to any other service whilst not causing a time delay.

The RF and comm handler: (which will be named Missus or 105 hereafter):

Missus (105) is responsible for communicating messages from node to node, using the out-of-band RF channel, and from node to server, using the in-band channel. It is also responsible for the inline encryption.

Architecture:

Missus (105) runs as a single process with multiple threads. All threads operate on a single data structure and use a mutex to guard against race conditions. This mutex ensures only a single thread can access the data structure at once. The following threads are present:

-   -   main: responsible for generating periodic info messages     -   tcp_listen: responsible for handling incoming messages from         Custos (104)     -   rf_receiver: responsible for handing incoming RF packets     -   rf_transmitter: responsible for sending RF packets     -   processor: responsible for handling received RF packets and         preparing RF packets for sending     -   transmitter: responsible for sending UDP packets

Internally, the data structure tracks stream objects. Each stream object represents a (partial) message and a follow-up action for the node. Whenever a message is received from Custos (104), through the tcp_listen thread, a stream is created and scheduled for transmission, either through the transmitter thread, in case of a breakout node, or through the rf_transmitter thread.

Communication:

Missus (105) creates a local TCP socket on the loopback adapter which is able to receive analysis objects from Custos (104). This TCP socket is only able to receive messages on the local system and is checked for integrity. Messages intended for the server are encoded from a rust struct into an array of bytes. The breakout nodes use a public-key encryption scheme to encrypt and sign messages before sending them to the server. In this scheme, both parties have some a priori knowledge, set up before deployment of the node.

The breakout node has an encryption keypair, including a public key and a secret key: (Npk, Nsk). The server also has an encryption keypair: (Spk, Ssk). Both parties have a priori knowledge of each other's public key. This allows the breakout node to perform an offline encryption of the message, using a key derived from (Nsk, Spk), and this allows the server to perform an offline decryption of the message using (Ssk, Npk). Currently the public key encryption is implemented using X25519 (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) over Curve25519) keys, the XSalsa20 cypher and Poly1305 authentication.

In-band communication:

For in-band communication, certain nodes will be assigned to act as a “breakout” node. Breakout nodes have the capability to inject ethernet frames on a network line. By doing so, this allows a breakout node to communicate with an external server.

Because the nodes operate in a passive/tap configuration where they are not an active part of the network, the nodes will need to borrow/spoof settings for an active network interface in order to craft packets that can be routed from the local network to our server. For this purpose, the node will use the interface settings from (one of) the endpoint node(s) it is protecting. Thus, any suitable packet sent by a breakout node, designated for our server, will have an origin media access control (MAC) and internet protocol (IP) address of the endpoint node.

This also implies that the nodes cannot use any stateful protocol (e.g., like TCP) because that employs the node performing a handshake, in which both parties involved need to send packets. Any data returned from the server will be routed to the endpoint behind our node. Since the node has a passive role on the network, it is unable to intercept response traffic. To overcome these issues, the breakout node communicates to the server using UDP packets. Whenever the node has a message for the server, the message is encoded into one or more UDP packets. If the server would reply to this traffic, the node would be able to observe and isolate the response traffic and the endpoint node would simply drop or ignore the UDP response packet.

Out-of-Band Communication:

For out-of-band communication, between nodes, a hardware RF adapter is used. The adapter is accessed through a serial interface. The RF layer operates on a specific channel (frequency, bandwidth and baud-rate). The RF layer identifies a network using a four-byte identifier. Within a network, each message sent is received by all nodes in range, so each message is broadcasted to all nodes on the network. Each node on the network has a unique two-byte identifier.

Format and Encryption:

The RF uses two layers of encryption, a hardware layer and a software layer. Messages intended for the server are encoded from a rust struct into an array of bytes.

Format:

The RF adapter sends and receives messages in packets of 60 bytes. When a node needs to send a message, the message is split into two or more chunks of 60 bytes. Additional space is divided over the messages using a custom padding scheme.

Encryption in the Software Layer (105):

The breakout nodes use a public-key encryption scheme to encrypt and sign messages before sending them to the server. In this scheme, both parties have some a priori knowledge, set up before deployment of the node. The breakout node has an encryption keypair, including a public key and a secret key: (Npk, Nsk). The server also has an encryption keypair: (Spk, Ssk). Both parties have a priori knowledge of each other's public key. This allows the breakout node to perform an offline encryption of the message, using a key derived from (Nsk, Spk), and this allows the server to perform an offline decryption of the message using (Ssk, Npk). Currently the public key encryption is implemented using X25519 (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) over Curve25519) keys, the XSalsa20 cypher and Poly1305 authentication. The software encryption layer uses an X25519 encryption scheme and an Ed25519 authentication scheme. In this scheme several keypairs are involved:

-   -   Ed25519 master signing key (MSpk, MSsk)     -   Ed25519 node signing key (NSpk, NSsk)     -   X25519 network key (Npk, Nsk)     -   X25519 node ephemeral key (NEpk, NEsk)

Before deployment, each node generates a signing key NS. Using the master key MS a signature S_NS=Sign(NSpk, MSsk) is generated. Each node has a priori knowledge of MSpk, allowing each node to verify the signature S_NS. During operation, each node generates an ephemeral key NE and signs it with their signing key NS: S_NE=Sign(NEpk, NSsk). When a node announces itself on the network, it sends its ephemeral public key NEpk, the signature S_NE, the verification key NSpk and the signature S_NS. This allows a verification that the node was accepted by the master key, by validating the signature S_NS against the public key MSpk. This also allows a verification that the provided ephemeral key was generated by the node, by validating the signature S_NS against the public key NSpk. And it allows decryption of messages using Nepk.

Encryption in the Hardware Layer (105):

The RF adapter uses a hardware AES-256 encryption engine. All nodes on a network have a priori knowledge of the 16-byte hardware key. The key is programmed into the adapter before operation. Nodes perform no active operations on the hardware encryption. Each packet sent to the adapter is transparently encrypted before being sent and also decrypted before being received at the serial level.

Obfuscation and Misdirection (105):

A Cryptographic engine and RF handler that optimizes and obfuscates data for transport. In Communicating with the outside a form of obfuscation is used; the goal is to misdirect attempts to decrypt and read the data the system is protecting. This is done by employing entropic obfuscation by adding seemingly random bytes that are added in a specific order that is based on the total data that is being sent. Furthermore, headerless compression is added to the now obfuscated finalized encrypted data.

The collection and re-assembly of this data that could be harvested with a presumed “man in the middle or replay” attack, becomes exponentially more difficult, if not impossible. As the data itself is now deliberately corrupted and can be harvested by decompilation in the exact same way as described above. The nonce (a nonce is an arbitrary number that can be used just once in a cryptographic communication), is a 24 bit random sequence that safeguards the key entropy needed to encrypt the messages correctly. This is sent via the first packet of a stream called “header.” The systems on both sides therefore can extrapolate the data on both sides. As a nonce is only used once, this means that this nonce sets the bandwidth of the used entropy. The maximum of data sent is within a single encryption parameter, below any reasonable minimum employed for re-assembling this data; thus thwarting or frustrating any hack attempt.

Radio Transceiver (106):

A radio transceiver that broadcasts messages to other nodes or on to a network.

Data Scrubber (105):

The data scrubber is used to replace “Bad data/executable code” with benign data. It receives the data size and mathematical parameters employed from (104). It then creates a harmless equivalent of this data block. When this is done it performs a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), to see if it complies with the data stream it was taken from, and is in fact of the same value mathematically, but has become harmless data instead. This process can be done separately with both incoming data, “(E1)” and outgoing data, “(E2)” packets.

Bump in the Wire (103):

TG1 and G2 are rj45 connectable bump in the wire like sockets. They function to intercept/become an in-between on a rj45cable.

Network Data Traffic Source (101 and 102):

A1=Any Network data traffic source.

A2=Any Computer or router connected to the data traffic source.

Another System Identical to (108):

Another SUBBC system that is being warned about an attack over it's radio comm channel.

Half Duplex RF Signal (107):

Networked Communication:

Element 111: halfduplex push connections made from customer nodes to update servers with client network info.

Element 123: outgoing half duplex tcp communication to (119).

Element 124: incoming half duplex tcp communication to (128)

Element 125: full duplex communication between (121) and (129)

Element 126: full duplex communication between (122) and (130)

Element 128: This is a half-duplex, “write to only”, database where customer meta data can be stored for processing.

Element 129: This is an API server that supplies the customer with alerts and enriched meta data.

Element 130: This is a secured staging server to connect to the servers on inner local level of the servers connected to a local network

Element 134: encrypted database server where all customer meta data is housed that is collected from (111, 119, and 132)

Element 135: encrypted database server where all customer data and customer related encryption keys are housed that gives the ability to decrypt the data from server (134). which then in turn is served to (132) and becomes readable to only specific customer coming from (112).

Advantageously, the illustrative systems and methods allow for efficient and cost-effective scrubbing of malicious code between communications devices, and the like.

Although the illustrative systems and methods are described in terms of efficient and cost-effective scrubbing of malicious code between communications devices, and the like, the illustrative systems and methods can be applied to any other suitable types of security applications, as will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the relevant arts.

And further illustrative embodiments, the systems and methods of FIGS. 1-2 , advantageously, can be employed to configure an open innovation ecosystem, as will further described with respect to FIGS. 2-21 . For example, FIG. 2 shows a diagram for illustrating systems and methods for an innovation engine, based on FIGS. 1 and 3-21 . In FIG. 2 , four illustrative elements, hardware platform 202, software platform 204, collaboration platform 206, and valuation platform 208, and the like, with respective interacting elements, nodes 210, hardware routing 212, patent value sensor 214, weighting machine 216, patent pooling device 218, coin contracting device 220, voting device 222, and the like, can make up the innovation engine.

Advantageously, the hardware platform 202, the software platform 204, the collaboration platform 206, and the valuation platform 208 are the illustrative platforms that subsequently are made up of the nodes 210, the hardware routing 212, the patent value sensor 214, the weighting machine 216, the patent pooling device 218, the coin contracting device 220, the voting device 222, and the like, provide for an efficient, robust and secure system implementation. For example, in the hardware platform 202, the nodes 210 can employ the routing hardware 212 to transmit and receive data sent within the mesh network 518, as further described. Such functionality can employ internet communications via conventional routing and/or by employing a redundant, over air routed network or skywave 402, as further described. Furthermore, both the air router 402 and the nodes 510, and the like, as further describe, advantageously, can provide a secondary channel for redundancy, data integrity, scrubbing of malicious code, security checks, and the like.

The software platform 204 harvests content (e.g., relating to intellectual property, patents, other assets, etc.) from the hardware platform 202, and automatically values the content (e.g., performs rule-based, artificial intelligence (AI)-based patent valuation, etc.) with patent value sensor 214, and weighting machine 216. When the content is weighted, it is then presented to a collaboration platform 206, and the like. A patent pooling device 218 can be used to merge the new patent data (e.g., ownership, inventorship, terms, features, updated valuations, etc.) in an asset storage device 504, as further described, that is then offered to the node(s) that include a coin contract 220 (e.g., blockchain-based, smart-contract-based, etc.) for that node(s), and after which synchronization, and the like, is performed with the valuation platform 208 and the asset storage device 504. Thereafter, voting automatically takes with the automated voting device 222, and the like, for example, which can include an automated system that presents users with a vote with respect to the already weighted data, as described above.

FIGS. 3A-3F are used to Illustrate systems and methods for an open innovation ecosystem based on FIGS. 1, 2 and 4-21 . In FIG. 3A, the systems and methods for the open innovation ecosystem 300 can include an open innovation engine 302, a baseline monetization 306 (e.g., 10%, etc.), one or more monetization events (e.g., portfolio sales, profits from startups, products and/or services, etc.) 304, one or more inventors 314, one or more team members 312 (e.g., patent attorney team members, finance team members, marketing team members, etc.), one or more smart contracts 308 (e.g., Blockchain smart contracts, etc.), and one or more portfolios (e.g., patent portfolios, etc.) 310. Accordingly, the one or more groups of inventors 314, and team members 312 can enter into respective smart contracts 308 with respect to terms for development and the monetization 304 of the portfolios 310. The open innovation engine 302 collects a baseline monetization 306 for operating costs, to fund further projects, and the like. As the open innovation ecosystem 300 is based on distributed technology (e.g., blockchain, etc.), tokens (not shown) can be issued based on computer generated valuations (e.g., AI-based, ruled based, blockchain-based, etc.) of the respective portfolios 310, and the like. When one or more of the portfolios 310 lead to the monetization events 304, the tokens can increase in value and be distributed to the baseline monetization 306, and the respective team members 312, and the inventors 314, based on terms agreed to within the respective smart contracts 308.

FIGS. 3B-3F are used to illustrate various views from the various components of the open innovation ecosystem 300 of FIG. 3A. For example, in FIG. 3B, there is illustrated a view from the open innovation engine 302 point of view, with respect to the smart contracts 308, the monetization events 304, and the baseline monetization 306. In FIG. 3C, there is illustrated a view from the open innovation engine 302 and the portfolios 310 point of view, with respect to one of the smart contracts 308 with the monetization event 304, and the respective shared portfolios 310. In FIG. 3D, there is illustrated a view from the open innovation engine 302 and the contracts 308 point of view, with respect to the smart contracts 308, the corresponding monetization event 304 of the portfolio 310, and the corresponding inventors 314, and team members 312. In FIG. 3E, there is illustrated a view from the open innovation engine 302 and the inventors 314 point of view, with respect to the smart contracts 308, and the corresponding monetization event 304 of the portfolio 310 (not shown). In FIG. 3F, there is illustrated a view from the monetization event 304 point of view, with respect to the open innovation engine 302, the smart contract 308, the portfolio 310 with the monetization events 304, and with the respective inventors 314, and the team members 312.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram for illustrating an air router employed in the systems and methods of FIGS. 1-3 and 5-21 . In FIG. 4 , advantageously, the illustrative method and system can employ an air router 402 for sending data, for example, over a lowland frequency, and the like, via antenna 410 that is capable of using a skywave air link 418 (e.g., skywave or skip refers to the propagation of radio waves reflected or refracted back toward Earth from the ionosphere, etc.) for connection to the internet 416 and/or via the router 414, and the like. With the use of a load coil inductor 408, and a software defined radio (SDR) 404, a full duplex signal is created to maintain a data channel that can connect to other users with similar hardware setups, and the like. The incoming signal from the SDR 404 is translated to IP routable traffic, in the send and receive directions, and the like. A WiFi router 406 with magnetic antenna 412 can be employed for connecting to a WiFi network, and the like. Advantageously, the created IP-routable network can send and receive data over the sky-wave link 418 for added redundancy, security, voting, and the like. In order to maintain data integrity, any suitable radio data protocols (e.g., ft8, jt65, jt9 ft4, ask, rtty, etc.) can be employed. Accordingly, the radio routed data can employ integrity, security, and the like, protocols, as described with respect to FIG. 1A.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for illustrating components employed in the innovation engine of FIGS. 1-4 and 6-21 . In FIG. 5 , elements of the innovation engine are ordered in way, for example, with respect to how information related to a patent, and the like, flows to determine a valuation thereof for the innovation engine. An evaluation device 502 can calculate value by employing any suitable AI algorithm, and the like, that can weight a value of a patent, and the like. For example, evaluation at step 502 can employ automated verification and weighting of various patent-related parameters, such as forward citations (e.g., at a ˜45% weight, etc.), age of patent from priority date (e.g., at a ˜19% weight, etc.), independent claim count (e.g., adjusted by number of means-plus-function claims, etc.) (e.g., at a ˜14% weight, etc.), claim word count (e.g., one or more of the independent claims at a ˜12% weight, etc.), family size and international filings (e.g., at a ˜10% weight, etc.), and the like. Then, when the initial evaluation is complete, the relevant information can be sent to an asset storage device at step 504. The asset storing step 504, stores the patent information, for example, divided across several databases, and the like, advantageously, ensuring quick lookups, queries, updated, retrieval, and the like. Advantageously, such data and resulting information can be grouped by interest, patent content, technology area, patent classifications, and the like, employing any suitable AI-based system, and the like.

After such grouping, and the like, the data, related information, and the like, can be shared over the network at step 518 using a mesh protocol, and the like, to then be voted on by individual nodes of the mesh network at step 510, and with software validation at step 524, to check for data originality, viability, and the like. Such evaluation can be performed by a voting device at step 506, for example, which can be implanted on the hardware and software described with respect to FIGS. 1A-1D and 4 at step 508, the node devices at step 510, and the validator devices at step 522, and the like. After performing such operations, and the like, employing security, integrity, validation, validity checks, and the like, the information is sent to the asset pool step 512, where the patent information, and the like, can employ information containers, and the like, that are tailored so as to be accessed by programs, and the like, that search for specific data similarities, and the like. An asset value sensor step 514, for example, determines if there are elements from the asset pool step 512 that can be added to individual chains of self-executing code (e.g., smart contract-based, blockchain-based, etc.) at step 516.

Advantageously, step 516 determines, for example, an overall value for a contract holder, and the like. For example, the self-executing code at step 516, as a whole, can be a value holder that can recalibrate value to a respective owner with help of a ledger that is kept within code, thereof, and the like.
